2 miles of (very slow) freedom

I've had severe cabin fever whilst I've not been able to get out to walk. I study from home and live in a top floor flat. As stairs have been painful I haven't really wanted to go out unless it was necessary. It has also completely zapped my motivation, leaving me with a messy house and not much studying done.

Today my friend Hannah came to visit. She lives away now so it's always nice to see her. When Ny finished work we took a gentle stroll down the canal and back with her. Hannah can't walk as fast as us so it was good to be forced to walk slowly (a lot harder than you'd imagine) but it was so fantastic to be out and walking again. Yes it was only two miles, yes it was a stroll, not even a walk let alone a powerwalk but it was outside in the fresh air and sunshine and it was good!

Going to aim to take a stroll each day. Partly to keep me sane and partly just to give my feet a bit of gentle exercise so they don't get worse when I do start walking properly again.
